...someone has to say something. I've been a little down lately so I wasn't going to write anything. If you can't write anything positive, then don't write anything. I think the problem with humans is, "We talk too much." These days with cell phones, blogging, twitter etc. We're just buried in opinion, supposition, gossip, angry rhetoric... If you want peace of mind you need to block this out. I heard an interview with a former nun who had been serving at a monastery in which the 19 nuns had to be silent 22 hours of the day. She said, "You couldn't believe how much talking there was for those two hours." The interviewer then said, "yes, but then 22 hours of peace." It's really hard to get away from it. I think if we could just not be connected, for three to four days minimum, we might regain some peace of mind. Don't talk just to say something. Trust your instincts. Be calm. Come to the sidebedroom and turn on the gentle ocean waves. You can be happy and fulfilled and it doesn't cost any money either.
Brooke and I went down the street last week to a friend's house. They were having a garage sale and we hadn't seen them over the Winter. They are an older couple(not as old as me) and we met them through a school friendship between Jake and their twin sons Jeremy and Rory McBroom. Phil is a big man with a strong voice. He has an interesting past which included time with the Marine Corp. , working at a VW repair shop and photographing weddings. Marge is a truly charming person. She's from Austrailia and has an accent you want to listen to. If she told you to eat excrement and die, it would come out beautifully. This couple have gone through some difficult years health wise and now are ready to do some traveling around the United States in a fifth wheel trailer. I hope they blog. Best wishes to a wonderful couple.
Peace and serenity to all...Enjoy the Masters.
